Awesome news.
Can we get a community play date that’s during the weekend or later in the day sometime? A lot of us work during those hours and I’d like a chance to one day participate.

Uny is there a way for you to make this post without the yellow background? Makes it hard to read.

Bring back the pelican in campaign and make it a fully flyable vehicle.

It is great to hear that 343 is listening… to Rank and Pro players but it is time for them to actually hear the casual gamers who truly love this game not for profit, not to be the best of the best but because we just simply love Halo good or bad Ride and Die.
Like instead of nerfing the Mangler make it so it only spawns one Mangler in play at a time.
BTB this is 343 bread and butter but only 4 maps while Areana has 8 only 4 game modes, season two gave us 12 new game modes and game variants and not one went to BTB. Why no King of the Hill in BTB or even one flag in BTB.
I don’t say this to be negative because I am still enjoying the game, I say this because 343 is about to have some serious competition coming within a year and I don’t mean COD, or Battlefield or even Splitgate their competition will be HALO! If Certain Affinity does this Battle Royale well and hit it out of the park that’s not a great for 343, that’s not a feather in the hat of 343 instead it will make 343 look bad and that another studio can do Halo better. If the Halo BR comes out and I hate to say this because I think it’s dumb but if it shows more players on Steam playing it monthly than Halo Infinite the youtube community and the twitter community will take that narrative and run with it against 343.
Fix BTB more maps more game modes on BTB not Arena.

Absolutely MASSSIVE W here!
Love to see it!
If this post/update is a glimpse of what we can expect from the upcoming “Drop Pods,” then I think the future looks pretty bright!

When will we be able to search rumble pit and last spartan standing with a party of friends?
These playlist aren’t ranked and H2 and H3 allowed this. We don’t have any progression system anyways so there is no boosting. How are we expected to have fun and play without friends for 6 months?
We cant even play campaign with friends. At least allow a party of 4.

Happy about the skill jumps coming back. I never really used any of them but once the community starts learning these types of things it does feel wrong to remove them. Every Halo game has them. I’m not so sure about actually adding additional geometry in game to make it make sense though.
Also, thank you for adding the tank gun back. However, I’m curious if the mentioned fix for the Spartan cores is also going to fix all the broken saves for LASO a lot of us have experienced since S2 dropped.
I started my LASO playthrough a week before S2 dropped so I could get the tank gun for the playthrough. Kept the tank gun but its broke progression and a lot of others have said they completed the game on LASO and no achievement. Hoping this gets fixed with this update but if not I can at least start a new playthrough now.
Keep it up 343!

Ahh of course, i must have forgotten that networking, map design and the economics of running a multi-million dollar franchise can be fixed overnight. My bad. They are working to improve the game. Constructive feedback should continue. I’m not calling you out specifically, but the toxic discourse I see over on the sub-reddit and twitter every day. It’s enough already.

Its been half a year now with little to no improvement to a huge chunk of fans. Frustration is quite understandable

A lot of this reads as “we reverting this change, sorry”. So not really much of an update really. Every day I still ask myself why 343 needs to test every single little change to see what players like and don’t like.
I’ve never held a job in the gaming industry and I’ve being saying from day 1 what the community wants and doesn’t want and I’m so moron with no qualifications or experience making games. It’s really disheartening seeing your favourite franchise in this state knowing you’ll never have the chance to contribute. I feel like that’s 25% of the issue the community has. They know what to do but can’t help.
Please listen to the community more. Sometimes it’s good to go, “you know what, we might be developers but let’s let the community decide on this one”. They can get it right.

I’m glad to read everything posted, but I would like to know if at some point the main problem with the game, the challenge system and the growing FOMO problem, will be addressed or even intended to be addressed. Is there even a plan to do something about this issue?

No change to Tactical Slayer and the crap variants? Thanks for NOTHING…

I love all these incoming changes. I truly want to say thank you for making them.
But at the same time this kinda sucks that these were originally done in the first place. A large number of the S2 changes are being reverted which essentially puts us backwards a few more months on map and campaign changes.
So when one of infinite’s biggest issues is a small map pool, we had members of the map design team (whatever its called) spending time changing old maps, ultimately reverting those changes, and now reviewing those changes for more balance. When we should have had ALL that time going towards balancing and designing NEW maps. That just sucks 
.
I really hope the studios lesson here is to get more community feedback on changes that have a very large impact on the game.

I’m guessing we are just never going to get any word about the removal of g sliding on ramps and hills. Mostly because unlike skill jumps, it has no effect on HCS pros and competitive players and we all know those are the only people you bother to respond to when complaints get brought up. BTB maps have no skill jumps, but lots of hills and ramps that can be used to move around the map quickly. It was a fun mechanic unique to social game modes that nobody asked to be removed and you did it anyways. Just like the skill jumps, but since removing skill jumps affected and pissed off Halo pros, you decided to bend over backwards to address it and bring them back asap without even addressing people like me who just want a word about the removal of g sliding.

Does this mean vehicles will spawn less in BTB with this update?
